- Here, a gas turbine from among these turbines includes a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. In the gas turbine, outside air is introduced and compressed by rotation of the compressor and is then transferred to the combustor, and combustion is performed by mixture of compressed air and fuel in the combustor.
- The turbine includes a plurality of rotor disks, and a plurality of rotor blades is radially installed around each rotor disk. High-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the combustor rotates the rotor by rotating the rotor blades while passing through the turbine, thereby driving a generator.
- When torque is transferred between the adjacent disks of the rotor, a radial load may occur in each disk due to a difference in thermal expansion between the adjacent disks or a different in bending according to mechanical installation positions thereof. The occurrence of the radial load may cause problems relating to joint fixation or surface abrasion. In this case, the disks are not merely replaced, but the entirety of the rotor may be sometimes replaced. Thus, in order to resolve these problems, there is used a torque pin for rotor torque transfer as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No.
2012-002357 - However, since the cylindrical torque pin disclosed in the above patent document does not has an area enough to receive a shear force, there are problems in that it is necessary to increase the number of torque pins and the torque pin must be accurately aligned when disks are fastened to each other.

- Here, a single or plurality of torque pins may be inserted into each slot.
- Further, the number of the inserted torque pin may vary for each slot. For example, two torque pins may be inserted into a certain slot, and a single torque pin may be inserted into all or part of the rest slot.

A combustor is disposed between the compressor section and the turbine section.
- Air introduced into the compressor section is compressed therein, the compressed air is supplied to and combusted in the combustor, and the combustion gas is supplied from the combustor to the turbine section.
- The compressor section is provided with a plurality of rotor disks (100 and 100' in
Fig. 1 ), and each rotor disk is fastened by a tie rod so as not to be axially separated. That is, the rotor disks are axially aligned in the state in which the tie rod penetrates the substantially central portions thereof. - In addition, a plurality of blades is radially coupled to the outer peripheral surface of each rotor disk. Each blade is fastened to the rotor disk in various manners, such as using a dovetail.
-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a portion of a rotor disk according to an embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view partially illustrating the rotor disk ofFig. 1 (the rotor disk described and illustrated in the embodiment is an example of various rotor disks, and it is not limited to that disclosed in the specification). - A
rotor assembly 10 includes a plurality of rotor disks, and the rotor disks may include afirst rotor disk 100 and a second rotor disk 100' as illustrated inFig. 2 . Thefirst rotor disk 100 and the adjacent second rotor disk 100' may be disposed so as to have a contact surface therebetween, or so as to be spaced by a predetermined distance (the present invention illustratively describes that the disks are disposed to come into close contact with each other). - As illustrated in
Figs. 1 and2 , each of the first andsecond rotor disks 100 and 100' has a dovetail-shaped root slot (not shown) which is formed at the outer edge thereof so as to be engaged and coupled with a rotor blade. - The first and
second rotor disks 100 and 100' have a plurality ofprotruding plate portions shaped plate surfaces second rotor disks 100 and 100' are disposed to have a friction contact surface therebetween, as described above. - A plurality of
slots 112a is recessed in theprotruding plate portion 112 protruding from oneplate surface 102 of thefirst rotor disk 100, and a plurality ofslots 114a is recessed in theprotruding plate portion 114 protruding from theother plate surface 104 of thefirst rotor disk 100. Each of theslots slots 112a' and 114a' are recessed in the protruding plate portions 112' and 114'. - The
protruding plate portion 114 formed on theother plate surface 104 of thefirst rotor disk 100 comes into close contact with the protruding plate portion 112' formed on one plate surface 102' of the second rotor disk 100'. In this case, theslots 114a formed in theprotruding plate portion 114 of thefirst rotor disk 100 are preferably provided at positions corresponding to theslots 112a' formed in the protruding plate portion 112' of the second rotor disk 100' so that they communicate with each other. - Each
torque pin 130 is inserted into the communicating slots of the first andsecond rotor disks 100 and 100', and has a spherical shape. Thetorque pin 130 is inserted into the communicatingslots slot 114a of thefirst rotor disk 100 and an area of theslot 112a' of the second rotor disk 100'. To this end, the communicatingslots torque pin 130 is not randomly moved in the state of being inserted into the slots. - In more detail, the inner width of the communicating
slots Fig. 2 ) corresponds to the diameter of thetorque pin 130, and the inner height thereof (the vertical height of the communicating slots inFig. 2 ) also corresponds to the diameter of thetorque pin 130. That is, the communicatingslots torque pin 130. - Here, the diameter of the
torque pin 130 may be bigger than the inner width of the slot. With such a configuration, the first andsecond rotor disks 100, 100' could be more securely coupled when the two disks are pushed to each other due to an axial force caused by a tie rod (not shown). - The
torque pin 130 is a component for transferring torque between the first andsecond rotor disks 100 and 100'. Accordingly, when thetorque pin 130 has a spherical shape instead of a cylindrical or hexahedral shape, the radial load of the rotor disk applied to thetorque pin 130 may be evenly supported. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the surface of thetorque pin 130 from wearing due to an intensive load applied to only a portion of the torque pin, and to thus prevent the rotor disk from being damaged. In addition, since thetorque pin 130 has a spherical shape, there is no need to consider an alignment direction or a gap when the torque pin is assembled.
